Remember when everyone used to say 'just get it hot' for punties?

I swear, for a solid three years around 2010, that was the only advice you'd hear in shops from Seattle to Austin... It's not just about heat, it's about the right heat at the right spot. I see new folks now still grabbing a punty from a way too hot spot and wondering why their piece wobbles or sticks forever. You need that sweet spot about 2 inches back from the tip, where it's just sticky enough. It makes the transfer so much cleaner. Anyone else notice this specific bit of old advice causing new problems?

I refused to install spyware for a client last week, and I'd do it again! Some lines shouldn't be crossed.

My niece turned our weekly dinner into a full-blown Dungeons & Dragons session

She brought her character sheets and dice last Sunday, and before we knew it, we were rolling for initiative instead of passing the potatoes, lol. My mom kept asking if dragons were real, and my brother got way too into role-playing his elf wizard. It was fun but chaotic, and now she wants to make it a regular thing. Anyone have tips for keeping game nights from taking over family meals?

My hallway is now a digital art gallery and it's way better than paint

I mean, why settle for one look when you can have endless art at your fingertips.

My tablet drawings from a mountain hike got way more attention than my studio work

I mean, I brought my tablet on this hiking trip just to kill time, but the rough landscape sketches I posted online blew up. Maybe it's the raw vibe or something, idk. Do you think places you visit change how people see your art, or is that just a fluke?
